I can confirm these two issues with the followning image:
http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/20110123-00:18/netboot/gtk/mini.iso
(md5sum: f753e5d4c421e06c01cb66c582585783).
The non gtk build from the same date does not have the issue. So I
guess this is specific to the gtk build. 

The same issue is also present in d-i rc2.

I did not test the whole installation, but I guess this would have
been present as well in my test.
